Deer Wars (E)

Kim Hollows reprises his role as Executive Producer for the first time since creating Ata Whenua.
This is a story of men and machines, of incredible daring and unprecedented ingenuity set in the dangerous and unpredictable New Zealand mountains.
Over a 20 year period these helicopter pioneers turned a national ecological disaster into a major export industry – but at a cost.
Over 80 men died in the pursuit of deer and many more seriously injured.
This film celebrates this unique time when through innovation and sheer guts a few hundred Kiwis did the impossible and created the legend that became the deer wars.
